About Deena

Deena Ramkhelawon is a counsellor with 17 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a range of psychological approaches to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, parenting pressures and life changes. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and situations.

She offers time to explore thoughts and emotions at a pace that suits each person. Conversations focus on practical ways to manage stress, cope with relationship strain, and build confidence. Deena combines short-term strategies with deeper reflection when that helps people make lasting changes.

Her work includes supporting people with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, panic, phobias and other anxiety presentations. She also helps those facing family conflict, parenting strain, bereavement, pregnancy and birth-related concerns, and chronic health stress. Presenting issues such as mood difficulties, career worries and financial stress are also within her scope.

Deena draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods, and she uses a client-centred stance to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person in front of her. In practice this means building a trusting therapeutic relationship and agreeing clear goals together.

Her BACP credential is shown as part of her professional background. People meet her in the UK and sessions are carried out in English. To begin, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on the therapist's schedule.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioural experiments to reduce symptoms such as panic or compulsive behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people create safer ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options in early sessions and agree a plan together based on the person's goals and preferences. This collaborative stance means methods can be adapted over time as needs change.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work or medical appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and avoids travel time, which can help maintain regular attendance and steady progress.
